Ah the man cave- it’s every man and woman’s dream. Her’s because she doesn’t have to look at feature walls of sports players she is forced to know the names of, and his, because, let’s face it – who doesn’t want some space of their own?

We’ve put together some of the necessary (as well as some of the more quirky) features to take your man cave from just plan shed, to ‘shed-yeah!'(no matter what your style)

The Gamer’s Man Cave

We get it, even if your missus doesn’t. Sometimes you need to be able to spend all night playing video games and eating chips, and not sleeping until it’s absolutely necessary. Of course try that in your lounge room and see how far you get.

Now obviously the Gamer’s Man Cave is going to have more than one computer screen, a brilliant wi-fi connection and enough power points to host a LAN that would need an invite list and a bouncer, but decorating is all about the finer features.

This old-school Nintendo controller-shaped coffee table is the ultimate place to store your drinks, and nibbles, not to mention that with the glass off, it’s fully functional. Never has defeating Bowser been so much fun.

Seating is of course important, and why not set the mood with your chairs of choice? These fun coloured pod-chairs meant there’s plenty of room for everyone to join in, for as many millennia as you’re planning on playing.

And finally, because we’ve all been lost at some point watching Game of Thrones, this is the geek’s ultimate way to stay up to date: The Game of Thrones Coffee Table. The perfect place to put your cup of Dornish wine. Added bonus, this is another DIY.

Of course most man caves are going to come equipped with a bar of some description, but perhaps you’re the kind of bloke who really enjoys sitting down with a mate and discussing vintages and brewing processes. Maybe you even dabble it in yourself?

What better way to aid that passion, than with a classic gentleman’s retreat?

No man cave in my opinion, would be complete without a barrel, less so a wine-lovers one. They bring a bit of atmosphere, are easy to repurpose and add a touch of class.
